Hike was amazing. Sculptures made this hike unique and worth the drive. Enjoyed mtg current GO members and guests. John did a great job. Sorry I could not stay for the pizza but maybe next time.

Thanks for the trip report and glad you enjoyed the day. 

What a beautiful day to enjoy Andres Institute of Art.  We started from the Picnic Trail and took a detour to a snowmobile trail to access the northern-most part of Andres.  Great cluster of sculptures in this area.  From there we took the Sculpture trail and worked upwards to the artist studio before winding our way to the summit.  

After a leisurely beverage and snack, we worked our way down the Cell Tower Trail to the access road where we decided to continue.  The picture of the 8' metal sculptures (entitled Negotiation) was on this route.  It was a favorite!  

We had an awesome group - 13  in all - and enjoyed being in nature and viewing original pieces of art along the trails.  A few more hours were spent by several of us at my home with pizza and beverages.  A great way to end a great day!

If you haven't been to Andres, check it out.  It you have, check it out again.  Over 100 sculptures are now on the mountain.  Thinking about doing it after a nice snowfall.  Let me know if interested.
